There is a good Key and a good Harbour for y^e shipps to Ride, by meanes of y^e point of Land w^{ch} runns into y^e Sea in a neck or Compass w^{ch} shelters it from y^e maine and answers the Lizard point w^{ch} you see very plaine—a point of Land Looks Like a Double hill one above y^e other that runns a good way into y^e sea. Y^e Lands End is 10 mile ffarther, pretty steep and narrow Lanes, but its not shelter’d w^{th} trees or hedg Rows this being rather desart and Like y^e peake Country in Darbyshire, dry stone walls, and y^e hills full of stones, but it is in most places better Land and yeilds good Corne, both wheate Barley and oates and some Rhye. About 2 mile from the Lands End I Came in sight of y^e maine ocean on both sides, the south and north sea and soe Rode in its view till I saw them joyn’d at y^e poynt, and saw the jsland of Sily w^{ch} is 7 Leagues off y^e Lands End. They tell me that in a Cleer day those in the Island Can discern the people in the maine as they goe up y^e hill to Church, they Can Describe their Clothes. This Church and Little parish w^{ch} is Called Church town is about a mile from the poynt. The houses are but poor Cottages Like Barns to Look on, much Like those in Scotland, but to doe my own Country its right y^e Inside of their Little Cottages are Clean and plaister’d and such as you might Comfortably Eate and drink in, and for Curiosity sake I dranck there and met w^{th} very good bottled ale. The Lands End terminates in a poynt or Peak of Great Rocks w^{ch} runs a good way into y^e sea, I Clamber’d over them as farre as safety permitted me, there are abundance of Rocks and Sholes of stones stands up in the sea a mile off some here and there, some quite to y^e shore, w^{ch} they name by severall names of Knights and Ladies Roled up in mantles from some old tradition or ffiction—Y^e poets advance description of y^e amours of some Great persons; but these many Rocks and Stones w^{ch} Lookes Like y^e Needles in y^e Isle of Wight makes it hazardous for shipps to double y^e poynt Especially in stormy weather. Here at y^e Lands end they are but a Little way off of France, 2 dayes saile at farthest Convey them to Hauve de Grace in France, but y^e peace being but newly entred into w^{th} y^e Ffrench I was not willing to venture at Least by myself into a fforreign Kingdom, and being then at y^e End of y^e Land, my horses Leggs Could not Carry me through y^e deep, and so return’d againe to Pensands 10 mile more, and soe Came in view of both y^e seas and saw y^e Lizard point and Pensands and y^e Mount in Cornwall w^{ch} Looked very fine in y^e broad day, the sunn shineing on y^e rocke in y^e sea. Then I continued my returne from Pensands to Hailing and now y^e tyde was down and so much Land appeared w^{ch} lay under water before, and I might have forded quite a crosse, many y^t know y^e country do, but I tooke y^e safer way round by y^e bridge. Here is abundance of very good Fish
